mRNA Stability and Gene Expression02:51

mRNA Stability and Gene Expression

5.0K
The structure and stability of mRNA molecules regulates gene expression, as mRNAs are a key step in the pathway from gene to protein. In eukaryotes, the half-life of mRNA varies from a few minutes up to several days. mRNA stability is essential in growth and development. The absence of the proteins regulating its stability, such as tristetraprolin in mice, can cause systemic issues, including bone marrow overgrowth, inflammation, and autoimmunity.

RNA Stability

31.7K
Intact DNA strands can be found in fossils, while scientists sometimes struggle to keep RNA intact under laboratory conditions. The structural variations between RNA and DNA underlie the differences in their stability and longevity. Because DNA is double-stranded, it is inherently more stable. The single-stranded structure of RNA is less stable but also more flexible and can form weak internal bonds. Additionally, most RNAs in the cell are relatively short, while DNA can be up to 250 million...

Evolution of Microbial Genome

116
Microbial genome evolution is a highly dynamic process shaped by continual gene gain and loss across species and strains. This genomic flexibility allows microorganisms to adapt rapidly to environmental pressures and interactions with other organisms. Central to understanding this diversity is the distinction between the core and pan genomes.The core genome comprises the genes shared by all sampled strains of a species, representing essential functions needed for fundamental cellular processes.

Microtubule Instability02:17

Microtubule Instability

5.0K
Microtubules are hollow cylindrical filaments having a diameter of approximately 25 nm and a length that varies from 200 nm to 25 μm. GTP-bound tubulin subunits form αβ-heterodimers for microtubule assembly. These core building blocks interact longitudinally, polymerizing into protofilaments. The protofilaments then interact with one another through lateral bonding forces to form stable cylindrical microtubules. These cylindrical filaments are dynamic as they undergo repeated...

    Area of Science:

    • Cancer Biology
    • Genomics
    • Evolutionary Medicine

    Background:

    • Identifying common cancer expression signatures is challenging, with unclear causes for variation.
    • Previous attributions to technological issues are questioned; chromosome instability (CIN) is a potential driver.
    • CIN leads to karyotypic heterogeneity, impacting cancer progression.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between genome alteration and expression dynamics during cancer immortalization.
    • To determine if karyotypic changes influence gene expression patterns.
    • To understand the role of CIN in cancer evolution and formation.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a well-defined model of cellular immortalization.
    • Systematically compared genome alteration and expression dynamics.
    • Co-measured global gene expression and karyotypic alterations throughout immortalization.

    Main Results:

    • Major karyotypic alterations significantly deviate gene expression.
    • Replicate samples with stable genomes show higher similarity than those with karyotypic heterogeneity.
    • Karyotypic and gene expression changes are dynamic, with unique patterns at each progression stage.

    Conclusions:

    • Karyotype and transcriptome are in constant flux during somatic cellular evolution, especially during macroevolution.
    • This flux, driven by CIN, is essential for cancer formation.
    • Understanding cancer's evolutionary process is crucial for developing improved treatment modalities.
